| Few places stir the imagination quite like the Marquesas Islands. Remote and dramatic, their emerald peaks soar skyward while hidden valleys cradle sacred sites amid lush rainforest. Recently named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Marquesas remain one of the Pacific’s wild sanctuaries—and the m/s Paul Gauguin makes four unique calls throughout this fascinating archipelago. Invite your clients to embark on an immersive 14-night journey that also visits Fakarava, Bora Bora, Moorea, and more. |

| Above the steady surge of the Pacific, the mountains of Hiva Oa disappear into rain-filled clouds. The most fertile island in the southern Marquesas Islands, it is shaped by deep valleys, lush plateaus, and dense forests. The harbor town of Atuona also marks the final resting place of artist Paul Gauguin. |

| In the village of Omoa on Fatu Hiva, a charming church stands beside the Musée Grelet. Inside are war clubs, spears, adzes, tikis, stone pestles, and carved wooden koka’a bowls. The island is also renowned for its handicrafts—especially tapa, decorated bark cloth—as well as ancient petroglyphs, including the famous paoa carved into the rock. |

| The leaf-shaped volcanic island of Tahuata may be small, at only 19 square miles, but it’s full of surprises—in fact, its name means “sunrise” in Marquesan. With only 600 residents, guests will immediately feel welcomed by the friendly locals. If your clients are looking to take home a hand-carved tiki from the South Pacific—this is where they’ll find the perfect treasure. |

| A charming seafront village, Taiohae is the administrative, economic, educational, and health center of the Marquesas Islands and the gateway to the natural beauty of Nuku Hiva. Guests will be enchanted by lush valleys, impossibly blue bays, sky-high waterfalls, and ancient ruins—it’s no wonder Nuku Hiva is called “Mystic Island.” |
